HCCS Board of Trustees, Trustee, District 5 – Robert Glaser

In the runoff for Houston Community College System Board of Trustees, District 5, the clear choice is Robert Glaser.

Yeah, yeah, I get it. He’s a “Democrat” and the other guy is a “Republican”, so I should automatically support the self-proclaimed “Republican”, right?

Well, no, I shouldn’t. And if you are a Republican like me, you shouldn’t either. Here’s why.

The HCCS is a non-partisan board. Claiming to be a Republican is fine but results should matter more. And when you factor that in, Glaser is the clear choice.

I don’t know the other guy, except that he started coming to Downtown Houston Pachyderm Club meetings during the summer and introducing himself as the only Republican candidate in the race. Perhaps he is.

But Robert Glaser has been there in the thick of the fight for conservative fiscal issues in Houston. Here is a picture I took of him at a meeting when we were trying to defeat the “rain tax” in Houston:

So you can believe all the nonsense coming from the paid operatives in the other camp if you choose. I don’t take a dime from any candidate. I know for a fact that this Democrat is a fiscal conservative. And I highly recommend him and think that he would add a lot to the HCCS board.

This is being very superficial. Mr. Glaser is supported by Mayor Parker, Council Member Ellen Cohen and numerous other limousine liberals in Houston. His opponent, Phil Kunetka served for two terms as Republican precinct chair in SW Houston, is a US Navy veteran, and comes with a business background instead of participating in the handout mentality that has gotten HCC overextended where they currently stand.

MClede, you are correct, this post wasn’t a deep dive into both men’s records. It was me saying that I know Robert Glaser, have worked alongside him, and that I recommend people voting for him. I didn’t say anything disparaging about Phil, I just told people my two cents worth. David

I actually found allies in the fight to defeat the rain tax in our local black politicians. I was surprised by that at the time as well but with where the democrat party is with its candidates being able to brazenly lie and get cover from our press. Like Obama said, they see their political foes as enemies. I’ve had to recalibrate my ability to give the benefit of the doubt.

Glaser’s claims are all untrue and worded deceptively. He has done nothing to help others or help his community. Showing up at a meeting and wearing a sticker are nothing compared to the long term volunteerism and service of his opponent, Phil Kunetka.

Phil has been a Big Brother, President of his neighborhood association for 5+ years, serves as VP of the protective services board. VOTE FOR PHIL!
